Watching on my nVidia Shield, and every time i hit the credits for something i get automatically kicked out to the “Up Next” UI, which is super jarring and intrusive every time it happens.
I’ve set Generate Video Credits Markers to “Never” on my server and still this is happening. How do I stop this? I don’t see any client settings on my Shield or anything else in settings anywhere on the server.
Disabling credit detection doesn’t remove the credit markers already identified. I read somewhere that when scanning for intros, Plex removes all markers so you could try testing on just a few episodes (select about 3) and Analyze those and have it scan for intros. It should remove the credit and intro markers and once it’s done, you’ll have your intro markers again but no credit markers.
Ended up here with the same issue on a FireTV. Really maddening, especially when your movie has shorts after the credits that you want to see.
Disabling doesn’t seem to undo the marking…
I don’t know why they thought for stream devices it should boot you out of what you are watching…I don’t mind the “skip” button that appears on PC you can ignore but kicking me out and only giving me a thumbnail to finish watching is VERY hostile. This BS is what pay-TV did to shove more ads at people between timeslots.
Hitting “Analyze” did not seem to erase what was already marked for credits in my case.
Check and see if its enabled on the advanced settings of the library itself, not just the server side settings. If it is enabled there then that is why it remains in your library. You can then disable it and run analyse again which should remove any previously detected credits.
Just FYI, there is a new folder called
…\Data\Plex Media Server\Scanners\Credits Detection
It contains (in my case) a filed called model_v1.pb. Perhaps removing the file will get rid of the markers. I haven’t tried it yet.
That’s the model that Plex uses to detect credits, it doesn’t store the markers themselves. Those are stored in the main Plex database.
That’s unfortunate then. We need an easy way to get rid of them, if we don’t want them. Kind of like we’re able to delete thumbnails, etc. from within the interface.
Yeah, if disabling credits detection completely and reanalyzing episodes/movies doesn’t get rid of them, I don’t know of a way to remove them outside of reaching into the database itself (stored in the taggings table).
Maybe @ChuckPa could come up with something for his PlexDBRepair tool 
The manual query to delete all credits markers for the entire server would look something like this:
DELETE FROM taggings
WHERE taggings.id IN (
SELECT t.id AS id from taggings t
INNER JOIN tags ON tags.id=t.tag_id
WHERE tags.tag_type=12 AND t.text = "credits"
);
With the usual disclaimer that manually modifying your database is inherently risky, so you should always make a backup before trying any manual edits.
It’s a self-plug, but I also made this marker editor, and the latest beta release allows bulk deleting all intro and/or credit markers for a given library.
Like others, I got tired of the way the Android client handles credit markers, so yesterday I disabled the feature at the server level and for each library. I expected all the credit markers that had already been created would remain, and I’d have to figure out the best way to delete them. But this morning I was pleasantly surprised to see those credit markers had been deleted, presumably during last night’s butler maintenance (I did not perform a manual analyze on anything).
I would just like to register my disgust with the app developers at Plex. This is a horrible feature and the fact that you didn’t give your users an easy method to turn it off shows the oblivious contempt you have for your most loyal supporters. Just absolutely disgusting.
I, like many others, received this new invasive feature without asking for it. It came activated by default and now the only way to get rid of them is to rescan each of my several libraries. This is not acceptable.
I turned mine off at Settings → Library. Then for good measure I also disabled it for each library.
I don’t think they are deleted, just disabled. They instantly come back once you enable the feature again at the library level.
Actually, they’re gone. Perhaps they’re hidden in the database, but the xml files no longer show them.
The XML is dynamically generated, and yes they are gone there of course otherwise the player would still see the credit markers.
I would think the markers are still in the database, but am not entirely sure.
